Melissa Hatcher Photography – Photo Blog bio picture

Meet Melissa!

Let's see......you want to know about me, huh?

I'm pretty simple.  I've been in love with the same man since I was 16 years old.  He is my best friend and we believe in each other....always have....always will.  We have 3 of the most beautiful children you'll ever lay eyes on!  I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt (baseball undershirts are my fave!) although I do love getting dressed up for a night out on the town.  Sushi Den, anyone?  I'm a southern girl through and through.  I love crawfish!  Give me a huge slice of chocolate cake with fudge icing and a cold coke and I'm in heaven!  I'm a Daddy's girl.  I love the outdoors and I am more than willing to take part in anything remotely competitive.  I hate to lose even more than I hate clutter.  I am a lover of practical jokes and was taught by the best.  This is why, to this day, I don't answer my Mother's phone calls on April Fool's Day.  I cherish my friends and family.  They are the ones that have made me who I am.  I love the Lord with all my heart.  He is my strength and my joy.  He has blessed me in every way!  Oh, yeah......and did I mention I LOVE photography!  It is my PASSION!

In my bag:  Nikon D700, 85mm f 1.4 and 50mm f 1.8

{ R Family } Mini Session

I got to spend the evening with some good friends last night.  I haven’t seen them in years and years, so it was such fun getting to catch up and meet their children.  We had a blast finding places to shoot all over their property and I had the challenge of working with a newborn,...

Jonathan {Senior Session}

There is something to be said of the vast differences of shooting a female Senior session versus a male Senior session.  Guys are just easy.  I enjoyed tonight’s shoot with Jonathan and getting to know him.  What a good kid!  Parents, you should be proud!  Here is a little sneak peek into the session.  I hope...

Fall Newsletter

Look at me!  I finally decided to create a quarterly newsletter!  I’ve been wanting to put something together for months, but haven’t had to the time to just sit down and create it.  What a great feeling it is to have something else marked of my ongoing photography “to do” list.  I’ve also posted it...

I had such a good time with this sweet little girl today.  A few months ago I hosted a Matilda Jane Trunk Show.  This sweet one’s Momma bought this adorable dress and earned a free mini session with me at the same time.  According to her Mom, Eliana knows how to accessorize with any outfit. ...

Susana {Senior Session}

I don’t have to tell you if I had to dodge the rain tonight.  It has become my M.O. for photo sessions.  We managed to work around it though. 
Meet gorgeous Susana!  She kept saying she was nervous, and that she was not photogenic……um…I beg to differ.  Susana, you’re beautiful!  I enjoyed this session so much,...

It was such a nice evening out tonight for Ben’s session.  We met up downtown and strolled along the back streets to find just the right spot to shoot.  It was a great time and I enjoyed talking with him and his Mom and getting to know them both.  They both made me laugh and...
